Mineshaft - am I losing my mind?

A filly doesn't "need to" beat colts in order to be great ...

Mineshaft was a horse I will never forget. This was one of the most efficient horses I have ever seen run. His record may not look great, no TC, no BC. But this horse was quite simply a machine in my eyes. No waisted effort, a beautiful animal to watch.

Congaree. I wish we could see more of this type of horse. What a tough honest horse; That would actually win, come on Perfect Drift...

Azeri. Completely mismanaged. May have been the best horse on the earth from 3-5 with the right trainer. No maybe I should not say mismanaged. She won a heck of a lot of money entering the right races. There was no attempt to make her great, I think that is more fitting.

Well my top ten would be

Personal Ensign
Ladys Secret
Go For Wand
Ouija Board
Life's Magic*
Azeri
Bayakoa
Inside Information
Paseana
Winning Colors

But we all know that Kincsem was the best filly and prob best race horse ever.
